Fiscal Stimulus in a Monetary Union: Evidence from U.S. Regions
The paper considers specifications of monetary policy that hold the real or nominal interest rate constant in response to a government spending shock. Here, we illustrate the method used to solve for these monetary policy specifications. We do this for the case of separable preference. We use an analogous approach for the case of GHH preference. Consider the closed economy limit of our model. A...

The estimates produced using this empirical strategy have yet to lead to a consensus of beliefs since the results have both favored and rejected the...
